How much do you want to bet that every floor occupied by Donald Trump and his family has state of the art smoke detectors and sprinklers?
My tinfoil deerstalker’s atinglin’.
WHo was the victim and what is their story?
Trump Tower residents are probably wondering what so many of us are… has Trump’s property become a target?
A mass exodus may begin, if there’s one thing these struggling millionaires in lofty towers expect from their bastions, it is security.
Hard to imagine any Trump property as “secure” when this kind of freaky stuff is happening.
And in all Trump’s tales and travails, this may prove to be the most distressful for the Orange Pretender.
Gotta wonder… is Russia somehow behind this? Maybe its payback for Trump allowing the sanctions on the oligarchs around Putin to go forward.
In Trumpworld, there are no coincidences.
Hopefully, this will generate into yet another lawsuit against the Orange Slumlord.
There are so many metaphors for the nation in this one incident that I’m beginning to suspect we’re living in a novel … a cliched, poorly written one filled with clownishly ghoulish antagonists.
Please turn the page already. I’m ready to be done with this one.
But we haven’t gotten to the gratuitous lesbian sex scene when Ivanka tries to convince Hope Hicks to come back because Daddy misses her.
(I mean, come on, as poorly-written as this plot is, you know that’s in the script.)
Question: If this is true–and I wouldn’t doubt it–wouldn’t it qualify as a “major upgrade/renovation” of some sort? Meaning, if his upper-floor mansion-apartment is equipped with the latest in fire detection and safety tech, then why not the other floors?
…sounds like the Bible, the Gita and the Koran.
No wonder we can’t shake it.
My guess is that the purchase agreement stipulates that a resident has to pay to have those things installed himself or herself. Or that it gets rolled into the fees for what passes for an HOA in the building.
And seriously, smoke detectors should be an easy upgrade. Sprinklers, not so much but a smoke detector?
OT but I could not resist
In the end, the central, tiring annoyance with the orange buffoon is how utterly predictable these stories are. You just know it’ll come back to some cheap-arse maneuver on his part. Never, ever fails to hold true.
Move to someplace safer or die in a fantasy of fake luxury.
Actually no retailer pays sales taxes on e-commerce sales, they simply collect from the buyer and remit to the state. Still, that makes it hard for DT to assert the Leona Helmsley “We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes” doctrine.
Nigro noted that no member of the Trump family was in the 664-foot tower Saturday
But, happily:
“FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said on Saturday that there is extra fire protection at Trump Tower when Mr. Trump is there.”
Smoke detectors, yes. Sprinklers might interfere with the lovely decor.
iDiJiT will have to go to the High Tower at some point to inspect the damage, make sure his gold bullion and stacks of cash and love letters between him and Pootie are intact, and right now the thousands of protesters who wait for him are checking their phones and will be there to meet him. He doesn’t want to hear the hate up close, and it’s why he doesn’t go to the tower which he considers his home. As opposed to the mansion in Washington which he thinks is a dump.
We were just told we were not in compliance with CA law because we didn’t have a carbon monoxide detector. So that went in along with four new smoke detectors.
Maybe it’s a good time to remember what happened here in 1911 and the changes it made to the NYC fire code. Also a “well built building” still standing today.

A long-term tenant dies in a fire, and all the raging narcissist can do is brag about how well the building is built (never mind the non-existent sprinkler system).
Stay classy, ass-clown!
